The Shoes

Let me introduce ya'll to French dance band, The Shoes. Think MSTRKRFT or Health, but with an un-ironic and appreciative club dance love...like if Ibiza wasn't an asshole. These guys just played Hiro in NYC on May 8th, and they've been running around Europe with Soulwax. They are definitely ones to watch. You can download their debut single "Knock Out" on iTunes or snag one of their older tracks, I'M 4 REAL for FREE. I am currently sitting at my desk pounding my fist in the air to this. Come on people.

Not only do The Shoes, get your bootie shakin' on the floor... they also love polaroids and making lovely animated Vans. I would have invented these guys. I would have invented computers, too if I had thought of them first. And cupcakes, also. I looove me some cupcakes.

About This Blog

My name is Nikki and I’m a life-long wearer of Vans.

In the interest of full disclosure, I work at Vans in the marketing department. I created this blog simply because there are so many cultural happenings surrounding Vans that I see everyday on the Web but nowhere to cull them all together. Basically, I look for people who use Vans (in some form) to express themselves or news following that same thread and aesthetic.

This isn’t the blog to ask me for a job, to hit me up for free kicks, or to tell me that you tore a hole in your jacket. Please don’t bother because this ain’t the “Ask Nikki Advice Column,” nor a replacement for the Vans Customer Service department, of which I have no part. And of course, thoughts and opinions expressed on this page are mine and mine alone, but I like it that way…
